Britain eyes Brexit deal 'like no other in history'

Britain’s Brexit minister David Davis said the country wanted to strike “a deal like no other in history” as formal talks on quitting the EU were set to begin in Brussels on Monday. Davis is to meet Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, to kick off hugely complex withdrawal negotiations that are expected to conclude within two years. “Today marks the start of negotiations that will shape the future of the European Union and the United Kingdom, and the lives of our citizens,” Davis said in a statement.
